Red Rocket initialization failure

I started a new project this morning that would use Red R3D media and found the playback of 3K 2:1 R3D media quite choppy and then saw that a red X in the bottom right of Premiere CS 5.5.
Event: Rocket Initialization Failure
Unable to initialize the REDRocket(s). 1 requested, 0 initialized. The SDK reports 1 should be available.
Device 0 returned status: Old driver of firmware, driver available: 0.0.0.0 (1.3.5.0 required), firmware available 0.0.0.0 (1.1.10.1 required).
I am running driver 1.4.7.0 and firmware 1.1.14.38
RedCine-X v487 (Win7/64) sees the card and runs smoothly with it. Windows7 control panel sees it (and the driver/firmware) just fine.
Any suggestions as to why Premiere 5.5.0 can't use the card? Any help would be really appreciated, I need to get a jump on this job.
FYI
Win7/64 (all current patches applied)

Bump.
Any Adobe folks reading this? I've tried posting on Reduser as well without any replies.

New OSX not does not work with RED Rocket Card and old OSX Randomly Logs Out - UNSTABLE

It looks like my MBPR 16GB (MacBook Pro) randomly logs out and causes my programs to quit unsaved. I can not update to the new OSX mountain Lion because the new Apple release is no longer compatible with the RED Rocket card needed for debaying RED Scarlet footage. Mountain Lion causes the RED Rocket to not run correctly with Adobe Premiere.
At the same time, I am on Lion and my computer randomly logs me out and I lose all my work. It seems as though the Retina is unstable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Can someone tell me how I can return this. It seems as though I may have to switch the entire company over to PC if this is not figured out soon.

You probably have not received responses for two reasons.
1. There are not many here that know what this is "RED Rocket card needed for debaying RED Scarlet footage"
2. Your post appears to contain some sort of threat to Apple about moving to PCs. You are not addressing Apple here. We are users just like you. We don't care if you change over to PCs.
MBPs and Lion are very stable. Maybe your unsupported third party Red card is causing issues. Their answer seems to be that Mountain Lion is not supported. I wonder why?
My suggestion if this is a business environment is to not mess with this. If you know for a fact that your Red card works with PCs, change over to PCs. I know that if some tool was not working for my business I would not hesitate to get something that worked.

Adobe Prelude - Red Rocket Support

Hi everyone,
My company and I are trying to implement Prelude into our workflow. Primarily, we shoot w/ a Red Epic and currently are experimenting w/ batch transcoding camera rolls through Prelude using the Adobe Media Encoder dynamic link.
The question I have is this: can Media Encoder take advantage of our current G5 tower's Red Rocket card to speed up the transcoding process, and if so, how do I select it (i.e., if available, where in Prelude/Media Encoder's interface can I find this feature?)
I know this type of question has been asked before--specifically,
here: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?66229-Should-Adobe-Media-Encoder-be-using-Red- Rocket and
here: Re: How to turn over RedRocket Control to AME from Premier?
..but no true answer has been given regarding this specific workflow.
I know Red Rocket acceleration is possible in Premiere (and that the Red Rocket card can work w/ only one program at a time)--but what about batch transcoding R3D's in Prelude through Media Encoder. I'd prefer to not use RED-CINE X as we're interested in using all of the XMP metadata features in Prelude.
For reference, the machine I'm running is the following:
MAC OS X Version 10.9.4
Processor: 2X2.26 Ghz Quad--Core Xeon
Memory: 32 GB 1066 Mhz DDR3
Mac Pro Era Early 2009
Red Rocket Card (firmware 1.1.17.3)
Adobe Creative Suite CC 2014
If anyone could advice, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
John

Yes, you can use the Red Rocket to speed up encoding in AME, but it probably won't do you much good in your specific case I'm afraid. Here's how the workflow would go:
1. Select RED files for ingest in Prelude
2. Specify destination location and preset
3. Start the batch
4. Once AME is open, stop the queue that has started automatically
5. Right-click on a job and choose "Source Settings"
6. Enable the Red Rocket
7. Go to step 5 and repeat for each job in the queue
As you can see that would be a lot of work for what may be minimal gain depending on how long it takes to encode the media with the Red Rocket turned off. Where this workflow really excels is when the source in AME is a longer form sequence such as a Prelude rough cut or a Premiere Pro sequence. I could certainly see adding a global option to always enable the Red Rocket for RED sources, but that would be a feature request, which you can submit here: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
I hope this helps even if it isn't exactly what you were probably hoping to here.

Fileopen Initialization Failure(2)

I receently updated both Acrobat 8 standard and Adobe Reader 9 up to their latest versions. Whenever I open a PDF with either product I get the following message
Fileopen Initialization Failure(2) you will not be able to open protected documents. I am an admin on my system. Anyone have an idea what is going on? I searched the forums and did not find anything related to this issues. Everything worked fine before patching. OS is windows XP SP3 - no microsoft silverlight installed ( I found silverlight could casue much weirdness with Acrobat)

Somehow a version of the fileopen api that was 5 years old was installed in reader directory and the acrobat standard dir. All I did was path the programs and wham error started. I went to the fileopen site and the promptly solved my issue.
Here is their solution
If you aren’t concerned about opening documents using the plug-in you can remove it by finding and deleting all instances of fOpen32.api; as I mentioned, that plug-in was discontinued a long time ago (and our installer only dispenses the current one).
Good job Bernd point me in the right direction
Thanks

After Effects not recognizing Red Rocket?

Hi everyone,
I'm having serious troubles with a Red Rocket in AE CS6. Nothing I have done will get AE to recognize the rocket. Premiere seems to recognize it and use it just fine.
The card is clearly installed correctly; it works in Red Cine X and Premiere, giving realtime performance with 4k footage @ 29.97 fps, with minimal processor load (~7%). If I force AE to try to use the card with Interpret Footage > Main > More Options... > Use Rocket, the system slows to a crawl and fails to perform at all. (It may take 10-30 seconds to update when the cursor is moved in the timeline.)
It does not appear to be simply that the red rocket card is not being released by another program -- at least, when I restart the system and open After Effects first, the symptoms are identical.
The rocket is on the latest firmware -- 1.4.27, I believe. I have done everything possible to confirm that the card is not the problem, including opening a support ticket with Red and sending the physical unit back to them for testing.
I have tried replacing the ImporterREDServer.exe and ImporterRED.prm with the Adobe Labs version from May/June 2012, that appears to have no effect.
I'm running Windows 7 on a dual 8-core Xeon system with 128 GB of RAM. There are also two GTX 680 graphics cards, one on each processor bus, installed in the system. I'm running the latest, updated versions of Creative Suite CS6, and there is no antivirus or firewall installed or running.
Thoughts? Directions? Things to test? Or should I junk the card or the workflow? I'm pretty committed to Adobe After Effects at the moment, though this experience has me strongly considering Smoke, Nuke, or something else for the future (the switching costs are high).
Thanks all,
-Ryan

In case anyone else ends up here:
It appears the best performance I can get in AE CS6 is about 6 fps at full quality. I think this qualifies as 'working' -- it's only 4 fps when I'm not using the card, and processor load is higher. At least it's stable now.
The fix was: reinstalling AE, reinstalling all Nvidia drivers, and shuffling the cards into different PCI slots. Not sure which made a difference. Also, moderating my expectations about what a red rocket could do in AE -- I've read that recent machines only see a performance gain while rendering, and everyone is turning them off during compositing work.

I have an EX495 WHS and I get an Error Code. 1 aqua and 4 red : Recovery Mode Failure.

Hi,
I have an MediaSmart Server EX495 WHS and I get an Error Code. 1 aqua and 4 red : Recovery Mode Failure. I tried Server recovery to no avail. This all started when I lost connection to the Server via Control Panel - it stopped connecting to the network totally.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance, John

I had the same problem and am now in a worse situation. Saw your posting and hoped someone would have advised what to do. When I re-boot my EX495, the Health indicator light comes up red. Pressing the status/recovery button causes the Health light to flash 1 Blue, 4 Red: Recovery Mode Failure. User manual says contact HP. HP says I'm out of warranty. Does anyone out there have a suggestion what I can do/try? Is it worth paying HP for tech support on the issue?

Red Rocket & Premier Pro CC

So I have a Sonnet Thunderbolt 2 expansion box. It has a Red Rocket only in it. I am current on software, firmware and OS. When the card is used in Redcine-X Pro it works great. When used in Premier Pro CC it hangs and won't play much at all. As soon as I unenable it from PP's R3d interface in the Sources Settings the R3D's play at half res jsut fine. With the RR enabled it won't play clips at all. I am working on 15 inch mac pro 2.6ghz incore i7 with 16gb of ram, with a Thunderbolt display. Thoughts?

Red Rocket playback issues using transitions

Hi,
the title says it all.
Playback is smooth when I use the Red Rocket with Full Res. though when I use any kind of transition on the clips, playback stutters and is no longer in realtime.
When I deactivate the Rocket and just use my 4GB 670GTX at half res I've no problems.
I'm using CS6 and wonder if this problem is still in CC.
If this problem stays with CC I'm thinking of selling the rocket and invest in some better GrapicCard like the Titan.
System is:
Core i7
16BG RAM
OS on SSD
RAID 0 for Data
Nvidia 670GTX 4GB RAM

First question is what dedicated internal SATA media drive you are playing the footage from?
Also, still pretty windy in Spokane.

Unable to connect to Oracle Discover Application: ORB Initialization failure

We are running Discoverer 4.1.37 in a DMZ. Some of our internal users receive a "Unable to connect to Oracle Discoverer Application: ORB Initialization failure ..." error when trying to use Discoverer Plus. Our external users are able to connect using Discoverer Plus. We have SSL and Gatekeeper was configured with the machine's IP address (Exterior address), port 443 (exterior port), and exterior proxy address. Networking changes were made to enable users to use one web address instead of two (one for external and one for internal). Also, if I trying to use the machine's IP address in the web address, Discoverer just says "Loading" in the Discoverer Plus status box. If I use the one web address (originally, the external web address), I can log into Discoverer.

How are you trying to connect the database using JPA?
Has your datasource got bind successfully. You should check all these things first. If your datasource has not got binded then debug for that.

Installing RED Rocket card

Hello ya'll!
I am going to be installing a RED Rocket card on my Mac Pro (2010 model) to do some transcoding of RED footage. Now, RED says to install the card into Slot 2. Which is great. My stupid question is: where is Slot 2? I've done a lot of googling of installing cards into Slot 2 and couldn't find any tutorials (hopefully video) on the subject. It might be a simple thing for others, but I don't open my computer up very often, so the location of Slot 2 and how to install the card remains a mystery. Help!
Thanks!

Thanks everyone!
Now, there's good news and bad news. The good news is the card is installed and is recognized. The bad news is that I'm told as I try to do some work with it it tells me: "Warning: RedRocket #0 is in a 1x PCI-Ex Lane. The RedRocket requires an 8x lane to perform properly." My main Radeon card is running 16x. What can I do speed up the Red Rocket? Is it just in the wrong Slot? Should I try one of the others? Or is there something else? I know that there's a way to redistribute the lanes. Is this recommended? (My machine is from early 2010.)

RED ROCKET & MOTION 4

Has anybody seen one of these:
http://www.red.com/store/100-0012
I wonder if it would speed Motion up to any great degree?

They aren't DVI ports, they're DMS-59 plugs. They go to two breakout cables included with the Red Rocket that give you 4 dual-lnk DVI outputs for realtime playback of Red R3D files to a 4K monitor or projector. It also comes with an HD-SDI breakout plate if you want to use BNC instead.
Again, it's not a video card, its specialized hardware decoder made by DVS, a company who specializes in high-end video processing. OpenGL is a great technology, but it's origin stems from the need to generate three-dimensional scenes in realtime, with an emphasis on instantaneous perceived quality, i.e video games and simulations. The Red Rocket is centered around a process called debayering, which is totally different.

Red Rocket not used by AME

Hi,
I am currently unable to get my Red Rocket working in AME.
I'm doing a RED R3D to Jpeg2000 transcode, and in Premiere I get around 2.3 frames/second, with all cores running around 50%.
In AME, all cores are maxed at 100%, but I only get around 1 frame/second. I conclude from this that my Rocket is not running in AME.
I'm using the fnordware j2k jpeg200 compressor.
I've made sure that neither Premiere nor RedCineX have control of my card - I launch AME stand alone.
I've checked the "source settings" of my clip have "Use all available" for the Rocket.
Have reinstalled the most recent ImporterRED.prm and ImporterREDserver.exe files.
I have Windows 7 64bit, AME CS6 6.0.3.1, latest Red drivers etc.
Not sure what to check next. REALLY need to get this working, as I have 21 hours of footage separated into 300-400 files to get through over the next few days. I need AME accelerated.
ANY ideas appreciated.
Matt

For now, you don't. This is a limitation that requires us to add a feature that allows the headless version of Premiere Pro and AME to cooperate in the use of the Rocket.

RED Rocket Card

Is the RED Rocket Card necessary to edit RED footage in Premiere CC? I downloaded some test clips (that I believe are straight from the camera) and it wasn't as smooth as DSLR video, but it was smooth enough that I could work with it at 1/8 resolution without interruption.
I have a client that wants to use a RED camera on a project and I just want to make sure I'm prepared for it.
Win 7 Pro, 64-bit
i7-4770
GTX 660 Ti
16GB ram
Thanks,
JB

No the Red Rocket card is not required but currently takes an enormous load off the CPU allowing more complex editing and playback realtime without rendering the timeline. I would recommend it if you have a consistent Red workflow. If not then you can likely do without. The project will just take longer.
